Overview

The Mushroom Castle is a huge place. Those who are within the levels of 30-38 may enter, and so enter the storyline of the Mushking and his daughter. It is a decent place, and if you start the quests from level 30, finishing all the quests should make you end up at level 35 or so. Although the time taken might be monotonous, it would be "better" than training, and you get a weapon/magic attack glove in the end.

Most of the quests require you to defeat hundreds of the monsters inside and outside of the Mushroom Castle. Monotonous, but it can kill time. Some quests also require you to get hundreds of a certain monster's spoils.

The whole idea of the story here is that the Mushroom Castle has been overrun by King Pepe's army of Pepes. The former key mushroom people are now on the outskirts of the castle, along with the sick Mushking. Not only that, but King Pepe wants to mary the Mushking's daugher, Princess Violetta, to his idiot son. Everything is going haywire, and that's where YOU come in.
The Head Security Officer's brother, James, is also lost somewhere in the castle, who has grown in the castle for all his life.

The Mushroom Castle entrance can be accessed by going to Henesys, going left to go up the wooden stairs at the tree fort, and pressing up in the portal. Once there, go to your bottom left to enter the big vine portal in the corner, next to the mushroom house.

How To Cross the Mushroom Castle Barrier

The big question on everyone's minds is on how to cross the sealed barrier. As said when crossing over the barrier, there are two options:

i) Poison Spore for a one-time entry use
ii) Killer Mushroom Spore Potion for an unlimited entry use

Poison Spore
The poison spore is really only useful for those who want to skip all the quests. But considering all the time used to hunt the spores over and over, you might as well do the quests for unlimited use, for EXP and the story.

All you need to do is to hunt Poison Mushrooms. They may drop from other monsters, but I can confirm Poison Mushrooms can drop them. The poison spores, however, are rare. Not too rare, but enough to be considered so.

Killer Mushroom Spore Potion
The potion is recommended for the rest of the quest storyline. You are required to collect Intoxicated Pig Tails, Mutated Spores, Poison Mushroom Caps. 100 of each. This may take a long time, but it's required to get past the rest of the quests. Once this is used, you can enter the Mushroom Castle as many times as you want.

Getting Inside The Castle

From the Split Road of Destiny, you can take the top path to take this way. However, once you go into that portal, you are confronted with spiked thorns. This is the short way, but it requires you to go through the quest storyline, much like the first choice on how to cross the barrier.

Trampoline Up The Castle

From the Split Road of Destiny, you can take the bottom path to take this way. This way is longer than the first choice, by about three maps. So, when you go into that portal, you must pass 3 maps, then you will be confronted with a small trampoline to bounce into the castle, the same way you would in the first choice.

On the way from the Split Road of Destiny, there will be Intoxicated Pigs and Poison Mushrooms.

The King Pepe and Yeti "PQ"

The "PQ" is required to finalize the "end" of the quest storyline. It is deep inside the castle, so it's a long walk. You are required to have at 2-6 people to take on the "PQ".

Once inside, all you need to kill is the King Pepe and Yeti. However, there are three colors of yetis - Gray, gold, and white. In order to advance foward in the story, you must kill one of each. There's no quest for it at first, but when you kill one, the quest is immediately started and initiated.

All three bosses have 120,000 HP each. They only deal about 200-350 damage, so they are easy. You have a decent 10 minutes to finish the boss off each time. You only need a few potions, but considering you need to get all three down, you need a decent amount. A good idea to get the boss color you want is to enter then leave, and repeat.

Once killed, the boss will drop his color horn (no use), some random, useless spoils, as well as five class boxes. When one of them is looted, the other four will disappear. When they are looted (untradable), they can be opened for their class potions, OR, you may luckily get a King Pepe armor/weapon of that class. They have the same looks and stats as the normal level 30/35 equipment, but have more stats. They are decent, but it's not really something to hunt for. They can also be scrolled with a King Pepe scroll, which can only be achieved by accepting the quest, which requires you to kill many hundreds of monsters in the Mushroom Castle area.

-In-depth Walkthrough

Follow these instructions on how EXACTLY to do the PQ.

- Go to the East Castle Tower, then go channel 1.

- Assemble a party of 2 - 6 people.

- The party leader will bring you all in. (If you're the party leader, go up the tall tower and press up on the portal. Select the first option.)

- Once in, DEFEAT THE KING PEPE AND YETI. Read step 5 before trying to kill.

- QUICKLY COLLECT ALL DROPS. Then, leave via the portal on the left.

- You have now defeated 1 color of a yeti brother. There are 3 total. Gold, Dark, and White. Repeat steps 1~5 to defeat them all. You can also

enter, then leave if the yeti isn't the color you need.

Saving Violetta "PQ"

This is the second "PQ". You may not do this PQ until you have defeated the three Gray, Gold, and White King Pepe and Yeti bosses. Once you have finished that, you may proceed on to this "PQ".

This is much more of a quest on its own, for you can only really do this once. You are allowed to come back to try again, but you can only talk to Princess Violetta.

When you enter, go right, into the Wedding Hall. Once you are there, you are confronted with the wedding! Talk to the NPCs, then watch King Pepe summon the mastermind - The missing Prime Minister. He is fairly easy, harboring only 12,500 HP, and should almost always give his Prime Minister card for the monster book. You are then sent by Violetta to finish off the rest of the quests, and ultimately finishing the storyline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: "How do you get a Helmet Pepe's Helmet? Only the Destroyed Helmet Pepe's Helmets drop."A: The Helmet Pepe's Helmet is dropped by the Helmet Pepe in the Security Room or any other Helmet Pepe. In order to get inside the Security Room, you must first defeat all three boss colors of King Pepe and Yeti, then save Princess Violetta. She will give you the key to get in.

The Security Room is located in one of the towers of Skyscraper 3. It's in the middle of the map, and has the portal at its door. Once entered, it has a time limit of one hour. The Helmet Pepes are the same. It's a thinner layout, but if one wishes to hunt them for anything else other than Helmet Pepe's Helmet for James, I suggest you go outside.

Q: "Is there any way people under 30 or above 38 can get in?"A: No. If you attempt to get inside the vine portal, it won't let you in.

Q: "How can I get the monster cards from inside if I'm not inside the level range?"A: Unless you have already done the whole storyline before you turned level 39, you cannot get anymore cards. If you were already level 39 without doing the quests, the only option for you to possibly get the BOSS cards is through the Maple Anniversary event like last year, where you exchange maple leaves for boss cards.

Q: "How come I can't do the Rescuing Violetta single PQ yet?"A: You must first do the King Yeti and Pepe party PQ first. Once you have killed all three, you can then finish the quest to proceed on to the Rescuing Violetta single PQ.
